Disney Hollywood Studios is gearing up for a magical metamorphosis as the unique attraction “Walt Disney Presents” announces a temporary closure. Visitors to the park have until February 12, 2024, to immerse themselves in the multimedia world of Walt Disney's legacy before the doors close for a short but significant renovation phase.

A Tribute to the Disney Legacy

“Walt Disney Presents,” often referred to as a hidden gem of the Disney Hollywood Studios, offers an intimate insight into the life and vision of the man behind the empire of mouse ears. The attraction takes visitors on a multimedia journey through time, from Walt's humble beginnings in a small American town to his triumphant days in Hollywood. The exhibition, a true compendium of sketches, photos, models, and costumes, narrates not just the story of one man but of an entire creative revolution.

Temporary Closure: A Window for Renewal

From February 12 to March 1, 2024, “Walt Disney Presents” will pause to delight visitors with new facets starting March 2. While the exact details of the renovation work remain under wraps, recent introductions of props and photo opportunities from “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” fuel speculation about fresh, fascinating additions.

The Experience: A Journey Through Walt's World of Dreams

The visit to the gallery does not end with the exhibits. Following the tour, guests are treated to the documentary “Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream,” offering profound insights into Disney's life and work. Previews of new Disney and Pixar films keep the magic alive and give a taste of future cinematic experiences.

Meeting Point of Fantasy: The Meet-and-Greet with Ariel

A special draw is the meeting with Ariel, the beloved mermaid from the eponymous live-action film. While the closure of the attraction raises many questions, one remains in the air: Will this enchanting meet-and-greet retain its home in “Walt Disney Presents”?

A Farewell That Sparks Anticipation

The temporary closure of “Walt Disney Presents” in the Disney Hollywood Studios is a promise of future wonders. As the doors temporarily close, anticipation for what is to come grows. For Disney fans, this phase is not a pause in magic, but a preparation for a new chapter full of surprises and unforgettable moments.
